Creamy Avocado Dip

This dip is so yummy that I literally almost ate it all before I could take a picture for you guys! It's bright and fresh and creamy with a hint of spice! It goes great with tortilla chips, pita chips, or crackers, and it's sure to please any crowd!

Make sure your cream cheese is softened. If it isn't, it will be very difficult to blend. Beat cream cheese with a mixer for about 30 seconds or until it is creamy. Add avocados 1/2 at a time, blending until smooth. Finally, add in Cajun seasoning a little at a time, tasting after it is blended. Continue to add seasoning until dip is spicy enough for your taste. Add a dash of salt and pepper and give it one last blend. Chill for 2-3 hours and serve with your choice of chips or crackers!

Just a tip on picking ripe avocados....you're going to want to go with one that isn't too green. When you squeeze a fresh avocado, it will seem a bit squishy or soft. If it's too hard to squish, it's not ripe yet!
